Rong Yixuan's heart ached when he saw her trembling figure.
He quickly hugged her and rubbed her back to comfort her. His eyes were full of guilt and his heart full of self-blame. It was all because of him. If only, he would have protected her then maybe she would never have had to go through so much suffering. It was all because of him that his enemies targeted her. A simple sweet girl like her had to stab people twice her size just to protect herself. He can't imagine how mentally stressed she would be.
"I am sorry, Su Yanruo. I failed to protect you...." he apologized.
Su Yanruo broke the hug and stared into his eyes. When she saw the sorrow, the guilt, the self-blame, the apologies in his eyes, she sighed. "It's not your fault, Rong Yixuan. It could have happened to any girl besides me," she lied.
